Anthony Mann’s film Railroaded! (1947) is an Orange Crate Art two-fer, as it features both a pocket notebook and a telephone exchange name. The notebook belongs to police sergeant Mickey Ferguson (Hugh Beaumont). Dig the perforations! A pocket looseleaf-notebook plays an important role in Mann’s T-Men (1947).
If it’s difficult to make out: the word stamped into the leather of this high-class item, far left, is CARDS.
June 27: In the comments, Adair has identified this notebook as a Robinson Reminder. Here’s a picture of one that sold at Etsy.

I think that this is a "Robinson Reminder" notebook---at least the perforated pad looks like one.
Adair, thank you for the identification. You make me feel like a generalist. :)
Here’s a picture. “Live notes only!”
The height of 1940s perforation technology!
